Unveiling the Future: The Inauguration of the Second Phase of the Ashgabat-Turkmenabat High-Speed Highway
From time immemorial, Turkmens have considered the construction of buildings, roads and bridges to be a noble cause and now these ancient traditions find a worthy continuation, said the National Leader of the Turkmen people. As we know the President of Turkmenistan Serdar Berdimuhamedov took part in the celebrations marking the opening of the Tejen-Mary section of the Ashgabat-Turkmenabat high-speed highway, reports the State News Agency of Turkmenistan. Construction work and landscaping of the adjacent territory were carried out by ES Altyn Nesil at the request of the general contractor of the project - OJSC Türkmen Awtoban.
Previously, the first section of the highway - Ashgabat - Tejen, 203 kilometers long - was put into operation in October 2021. The next section of 288 kilometers will respectively stretch from Mary to Turkmenabat. The total length of the Ashgabat – Turkmenabat highway will be 600 kilometers.
The highway received international quality certificates confirming the high safety of the route and the use of innovative high technologies in construction.
Serdar Berdimuhamedov said, «The construction of this highway is further evidence of the revival of the Great Silk Road» referring to the trade route that crossed Central Asia for centuries.
